oooooooooh, yeah. Overtightening a bulkhead, especially on your sump wall or the bottom of your dt, because you have a weeping-type leak. Just wrap a cloth around the thing and put a bowl under it and hope it 'settles' and quits it. Gentlemen, finger-tighten those things, don't use a wrench, and remember that the average woman finger-tightens bulkheads just fine with no leaks.
